Don't know how to tackle panty lines that show under tight pants or peeping waist bands from under low-rise pants? Here are different types of panties every woman needs in her wardrobe to dress-up as she wants and not worry about panty lines.
2/10
Classic briefs--Classic briefs or your granny panties should be your go to panties. Their sides extend well below the hips; the waistband goes above the navel and they offer full coverage in the back. Use them when you are on your period. Wear them on a day when you have to run a hundred errands and all you need is some extra support. They are also excellent for the summers as cotton is extremely breathable and absorbs sweat easily.
3/10
High cut briefs--High cut briefs are a good option when you are wearing low-rise pants but want better coverage and support. Their waistband extends up to one and a half inch below your waist and the leg holes are also deep. They do not offer as much coverage as classic briefs but are equally comfortable.
4/10
Control briefs--Control briefs are a type of shapewear. They are designed to provide full coverage while tucking in excess flab and making your waist and hips appear slimmer. Wear them when you are planning to flaunt a fitting dress or pants and want to hide your paunch.
5/10
Hipsters--As the name suggests, the elastic of hipsters sits on the hips and not on the waist as in briefs, and they also have low cut leg holes. They offer coverage at the back and come in handy when you are planning to wear low waist/low-rise pants.
6/10
Boy shorts--Boy shorts are designed like men's boxer briefs but have a tighter fit. They have a low waistband which sits on the hips but offer better coverage as the leg holes extend up to the thighs. They are somewhat like extremely short shorts. But what makes them useful is that you can wear them under tight clothes as there are no nasty panty lines ruining your outfit. Plus, they are low rise so there's no worrying about the peeping waistband from under your pants.
7/10
Bikinis--Yes, you can wear bikini bottoms under your regular clothes. The waistband sits up to three inches below the waist, and the leg holes are cut very high. They give minimal coverage but are hardly visible under clothes. However, avoid wearing it when on period or when you have any kind of a vaginal infection. Since the sides are almost absent and the fabric comes in close contact with the vagina there are high chances that it can irritate the delicate skin and also spread the infection.
8/10
Tangas- The tangas too sit way below the waist and have very little coverage at the back. The sides too are cut very deep and usually rest above the hip bones. Tangas too can be worn under tight fitting skirts, dresses and pants to avoid panty lines.
9/10
Thongs offer minimal coverage and are used under figure hugging clothes. A triangular patch attached to the waistband, which is a thin string, offers coverage on the front. The piece is connected to the back with the help of another string that acts as leg holes. Avoid wearing thongs when you are on your period or when you have an infection or a rash. The thin string comes in close contact with the vagina and the anus, which can easily spread the infection and worsen it.
10/10
G-string is somewhat like a thong with zero coverage at the back. It appears like two triangular cloth patches attached to each other with the help of a string for leg holes. These patches, one at the front and other at the back, are connected to a waistband that sits up to three inches below the waist. Like a bikini, g-strings are also to be avoided when you are on your period or have any kind of an infection down there.
